  1. Captain Phasma CRL Discussion

    in Captain Phasma - TFA and TLJ

    Posted

    Because phasma is a commander, and stormtrooper commander is fisd.

     

    Spec ops has coloured tks, yes, but no commanders other than general weir.

     

    It's funny. People keep ascribing all sorts of logic as to why a costume goes to a particular det. Little of it makes much sense across all 15 detachments. A lot of it was dictated by an LMO and some of it happened organically without reason. But as the 501st grows, and detachment leadership changes, many of the dets begin to navel gaze about their own existence. One of many examples is that SLD and TFE rethinking what types of costumes they support. 

     

    Members can read my rant about this here.

     

    I know that SpecOps wants Phasma for sure. I personally think the support for building the costume is best served from the FISD forums. 

     

    While the LMO has the power to dictate where a costume goes, he shouldn't. This is between the two DLs with my support behind FISD.

  4. FX Armor

    in Hard Armor (General Discussion)

    Posted

    Sean, 

     

    I was looking into this a while ago, was doing the conversion my self. Ended up shooting for centurion so had to replace the armor. Should have kept it since i went to the sandbox anyways. 

     

    It will need the following:

     

    1. Cover strips added and but joints (doable just time consuming)

    2. Canvas Belt. (abs belt may need to be replaced)

    3. Ab button colour changes or replacement. 

    4. New Helmet (You knew that)

    5. Chest plate mods (there is a great thread on this)

    6. Updated snap strapping

    7. Possible forearm armor mods (Return edges)

    8. Possible thigh armor mods. (dont remember the details)

     

    That was the list as far as i knew, another more veteran member may add more to this list.. 

     

    Hope it helps,

    Hi all! This list is not accurate. If you want basic approval for basic 501st membership here is the definitive list:

    • Split kidney and butt plate into two pieces
    • Replace plastic belt with a canvas one 
    • Rivet holster onto left side of canvas belt (cannot be looped for ANH Stunt)
    • Replace helmet (WTF makes a really nice one that will match the FX color)
    • Replace black ab buttons (I have a set if you want) with the blue and grey ones
    • Ensure forearms, biceps, and thighs are closed 
    • Install elastic on the shoulder bell that goes around the bicep
    • Make sure all the parts fit you and don't overlap too too much. 

    This thread is a good place to start even if you're not going EIB:

    http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/12478-howto-easily-make-your-fx-armor-eib-acceptable/

     

    Post your progress here and we'll help you get it fit and your costume approved. 

     

    Good luck!

    Congrats Eric! Just wanted to clarify: there will be an LMO rep for each detachment. So in FISD's case you're both the LMO and LMO rep?

     

    No no. Sorry man. There is an LMO person assigned to every detachment. So I liaise as LMO (per the operating protocol) with the DL or someone the DL appoints to deal with CRLs. There are 6 of us and we all have taken a couple of the 15 dets to help out. 

     

    I just happen to also be working on Phasma and Shocktrooper but Tim gets the final approval on those CRLs and I'll ask another LMO to get eyes on it as well.

     

     

    Who's this Eric guy?

     

    I'm changing my name to UbiquitousTrooper.

     

    Congrats Eric

    Thanks Eric.

     

    Congrats Eric. Chris G. had jokingly mentioned you two plotting to take over the empire. I called shenanigans hahaha. Looking forward to the updates. 

     

    Sssssssssssh! We're not trying to be too too obvious. 

     

    Congrats on the new gig! I better check who the LMO assigned to MEPD is.

     

    Stalker!

     

    As LMO I am helping SLD, MEPD, and FISD with their CRLs. The main forums I visit anyways.

    So say again why this is not spec-ops?

     

    I'm open to Phasma moving there. At the time we started writing things FISD made more sense. I still think FISD is a better resource for building it and do feel like it still makes sense for her to live here. I'll poke my head in over a spec ops and ask how they feel about it. 

     

    Either way I'm moving forward with the CRL development along the way we can all decide together which DL gets final approval.

    Good stuff Eric. Sounds like 2016 will close with a dance party on Endor! Have a fun year and good luck.

     

     

    Yes and I'm using your bucket as a drum. Anyone got an Ewok leg bone I can use as a drumstick?

     

    Good luck with the role Eric

     

    I read this as "Yeah pfffft good luck with that!"

     

    Thanks all. My PM and email door has been and remains open even in this new role.

    Aloha Shiny Whites,

     

    I apologize for the delay in posting this. Between election madness and then some work related travel I am finally getting a chance to sit down to use a keyboard that does not involve thumbs.

     

    Please allow myself to introduce myself with a form letter going out on all the detachments forums.  I am Eric Brager your Legion Membership Officer (LMO) for 2016. If you recognize the name Darth Aloha it is likely due to my involvement with FISD as a two time Detachment Leader (DL). 

     

    (this is part of a form letter I'm posting on all 15 detachments. Most of you all know who I am)

     

    The LMO office this year is here to help. We will support the FISD goals for updating and creating new CRLs. Through your DL we will be an advocate, advisor, and champion. Most of all we will be accessible and approachable. No longer are the LMOs aloof and unreachable.

     

    Last year saw the small but important changes to the Operating Protocols regarding CRLs. Section 7 states a few things that define a new working relationship between the detachments and the LMO. First is that a new costume may not be added to the Legion without completed CRL. Second is that the detachments are responsible for the creation and maintenance of the CRLs not the LMO. We do not make your CRLs. The result of these changes is that base level CRL requirements should not change unless the LMO and the DL are in agreement.  Thirdly and lastly the DL should solicit buy-in from the detachment community regarding changes.

     

    In this new arrangement we have no choice but to work together. With that said every one of the 15 detachments will have an LMO representative assigned to them.

     

    Your LMO rep is me!  He will be logging into your forums and contributing to your community, if he isn’t already doing so. The LMO office needs to be active in your community. That way we may fully understand each detachment’s vision and needs if we are going to support your CRL needs.

     

    What is the next step in this glorious shiny new hug-fest? I am asking the DL to send their LMO representative (or post up) a list of CRL goals as well as issues, concerns, gripes, problems, woes that we can help with. I will be integrating that list into my ongoing high level goals for 2016 that will be posted publically on the forums. I encourage any discussion between the dets and the LMO office to occur out in the open on the forums as much as possible. 

     

    If anyone reading this (and hasn’t dozed off) has a question of any kind they are welcome to PM me anywhere or email me. Your DL will be receiving my phone number shortly and is welcome to text or call anytime for any reason.

     

    Let’s get some poodoo done this year.

     

    -Eric
